Herman came to the United States with his parents in the fall of 1881, after having served three years in the German Army, and located in Carroll County, Iowa, where he resided six years. For a few years he worked out at farm work, but after his marriage he rented land and engaged in farming.

Mr. Mohr was married in Carroll County March 25, 1886, to Margretta Ohrt, who was born in Germany, and came to America with her parents, Claus Hinrich Ludwig and Antje H. "Anna" (Thompson) Ohrt, when eighteen years of age. Her father died in Carroll County, during the second year after his arrival from the old country, aged 51 years. Her mother died in the same county in 1902, aged 67 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Mohr are the parents of five children: Willie, aged 19; Amanda, aged 17; Amelia, aged 13; Ida, aged 11; Emil, aged 9. Two children died in infancy.

In Willmont Township, Mr. Mohr held the office of supervisor four years and was on the school board of District No. 63 for several years. He is now a member of the Bloom board and is serving his second year as director of school district No. 74.
